The Nigeria international bagged an assist as the Changchun Stadium outfit secured their sixth CSL win this term

Odion Ighalo continued his impressive form as Changchun Yatai battled to a 3-2 victory over Guangzhou Evergrande in Saturday’s Chinese Super League encounter.

After helping the Changchun Stadium outfit secure a point in their last tie against Shanghai Shenhua, the forward provided the much-needed assist for the winning goal against Fabio Cannavaro’s men at Changchun's People Stadium.

Rui Yu opened the scoring for Chen Jingang’s men in the 17th minute before Liyu Yang levelled proceedings for the Southern China Tigers.
